T 0 all whom it may concern:

I Be it known that I, y ms RoYLa, a citizenof the United States, and resident of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Registering and Squaring Machines, of which the following is a s ecification.

This invention relates to registering and squaring machines, with the object in view 0 providing amachine which is fitted with means for brilliantly ifll uminating the work (negative) from beneath, and also for-intensifying the illumination at any desired portion of the work. I r i Another object consists in providing such an apparatus which contains certain improvements .in the .form, construction and arrangement of the several parts, whereby the above named and other objects may be effectively attained. H

A practicalmbd'ifment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which H F ig. 1 represents a plan view of a portion of the apparatus with my improved structure applied thereto, certain of the parts being broken away to show others below.

Fig. 2 represents a detail horizontal section, showing the illuminating and reflecting means in plan View.

Fig. 3 represents an enlarged detail vertical section taken in the plane of the line IIIIII of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.

This invention is illustrated as applicable to the registering and squaring machine which forms the subject matter of my United States Patent No. 1,450,608, dated April 3, 1923, and reference is hereby made to that patent for detailed illustration and description of the said machine and the manner in which the present invention is applied thereto.

The present apparatus includes a table top 8 which is translucent and means is provided for thoroughly illuminating the work (negative) 12. The means comprises a pair of electric lights 67 which are fast in reflectors 68 (see Figs. 2 and 3) that are secured to brackets 69 which latter are fixed at opposite sides of the frame 7 by screws 70. These reflectors may be composed of suitable sheet metal such as polished aluminum, and it will be noted that the reflectors Pas arena} the ek tside of the lights W1 67 areelongated in ,fo'i-ni and arranged with th'eirsides toward-the translucent top 8, re flectors 68' and mirrors 71. Thesereflecting mirrors 71 project downwardly and outwardly so as to be' complementary to the reflectors 68, and their angularity may be varied by adjusting rods Each of these rods rotatabl mounted in but fixed against hmgitu inal movement in sleeves 75 which are pivoted at 7 6 in the sides of the frame 7. Thefextremities of the rods 749 are threaded into tapped sleeves 77, which are pivot-ed at 78 on the edges of the reflecting mirrors 71. Each mirror has ,a rod 74 connected to it and the said rods are located at opposite sides of the frame 7. Milled heads 79 are pinned to the upper ends of the rods 74 for manual operation thereof. It will be clear that, by changing the angularity of the mirrors, the angle of reflection will be changed so as to vary the intensity of illumination of different portions of the work. The wires (not shown) for the lights 67 may be led from a suitable source of current supply through an opening in the base (not shown), a tube 80, composed of insulating material, located within the pillar 3, and thence through a pair of branch tubes 81, also composed of insulating material, and leader 82 to the lights 67.

It will be understood that various changes may be resorted to in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; and hence, I do not intend to be limited to the details herein described, except as they maybe specifically included in the claims.

)Vhat I claim is:

1. A registering and squaring machine comprising, a translucent table for holding the work, lighting means beneath the table, and a pair of adjustable hinged reflectors.

2. A registering and squaring machine comprising, a translucent table for holding the Wo k, ighting means beneath the table,

an adjustable swinging reflector, and a fixed reflector complementary to the said swinging reflector.

A registering and squaring machine comprising, a translucent table for holding the work, a light beneath the table and at each side thereof, and a pair of adjustable reflectors arranged beneath the table and between the lights.

4%. A registering and squaring machine comprising, a translucent table for holding the work, a light beneath the table and at each side thereof, a pair of adjustable reflectors arranged beneath the table and between the lights, and a pair of fixed reflectors beneath the table and outside of the lights.

5. A registering and squarin machine comprising, a translucent table tor holding the work, a light beneath the table and at the side thereof, an adjustable reflector arranged beneath the table, and a fixed reflcctor beneath the table and outside of the light, said fixed reflector extending around beneath the light and downwardly toward the adjustable reflector.

(5. A registering and squaring machine comprising, a translucent table for holding the work, a light beneath the table and at each side thereof, a pair of adjustable reflectors arranged beneath the table and between the lights, and a pair of fixed reflectors beneath the table and outside of the lights, said fixed reflectors extending around beneath the lights and downwardly toward the adjustable reflectors and said adjustable reflectors extending downwardly toward the fixed reflectors.

7. A registering and squaring machine comprising, a translucent table for holding the work, a light beneath the table and at the side thereof, an adjustable reflector arranged beneath the table, and a fixed reflector beneath the table and outside of the light, said fixed reflector extending around beneath the light and downwardly toward the adjustable reflector, and said light being elongated and arranged with its side toward the table and said reflectors.

8. A registering and squaring machine comprising, a translucent table for holding the work, a light beneath the table and at each side thereof, a pair of adjustable re flectors arranged beneath the table and. between the lights, and a pair of fixed reflectors beneath the table and outside of the light, said fixed reflectors extending around beneath the lights and downwardly toward the adjustable reflectors, said adjustable reflectors extending downwardly toward the fixed reflectors, and said lights being elongated and arranged with their sides toward the table and said reflectors.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name this 8th day of June, 1922.
